Counselor Greg Sharp, from Westlake Hospital, spoke to third graders at Campbellsville Elementary about conflict resolution. He talked to the boys and girls about personal anger management and how to deal with bullies.

Kathryn Doss, a Campbellsville Middle School fifth grader, reacted to her project in "Grossology." CMS fifth and sixth graders enrolled in Grossology, an elective class taught on Tuesdays and Thursdays by sixth grade science teacher Jan Speer, and recently began a study of the "Science of Gross Things." Students made pretend mucus while learning facts about the nose such as how our bodies produce mucus every 20 minutes. Students in this class have also studied facts about saliva and blisters.

Campbellsville Independent Schools will see a bit more money this year from property taxes.

Pending a public hearing next month, School Board members last week approved a 4 percent increase in the District's rate for real and personal property, as it has done each year as long as anyone on the Board can remember.

According to Finance Director Gayle Newton, the rate will generate an additional $66,130 this coming year.
